If you're interested in testing yourself, it's pretty easy both 
repositories are public:

echo "deb http://packages.le-vert.net/mesos/debian stretch main" > 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/packages.le-vert.net_mesos.list
echo "deb http://repos.mesosphere.io/debian jessie main" > 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mesosphere.list

I guess the coma works only if you're using subfilters of "release", 
like as stated in the documentation.
So maybe what I'm trying to do is simply not supported, but I'd like to 
have a confirmation before I seek for a different solution (any hint 
would be appreciated...)
